Mamdani’s progressive policies fueled his victory in the city Tuesday as Democratic candidates won in high-profile races in New Jersey and elsewhere — but those policies were ballot poison just over the border on Long Island, insiders said.

We don't want socialism, communism or democratism

Arguably, Mamdani will DOOM the Democratic Party for generations to come. Like Aunt Jemima was to Syrup, Mamdani is going to become the very face of the Democratic Party over the next year and guarantee Republicans INCREASE their majority in the House and the Senate.
